While Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings will go ahead with the maximum purse at the upcoming IPL 2026 auctions in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, the rest of the franchises do have a few holes to fill. Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru have few slots to fill.Mumbai IndiansPurse remaining: Rs 2.75 crore. Slots left: 5 (1 overseas)Players retained: AM Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell Santner, Naman Dhir, Raghu Sharma, Raj Bawa, Robin Minz, Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Trent Boult, Will Jacks, Shardul Thakur (traded in from LSG), Sherfane Rutherford (traded in from GT), Mayank Markande (traded in from KKR).What they need: They will arrive in Abu Dhabi having done a majority of their work during the trade window, which means it won’t be a busy day for the five-time champions at the auction table. With the least amount to spend, big names could be out of their way. Even with uncapped domestic talents, whether they are able to land their prime targets remains to be seen. They do need a few back up options in the spin department and to bat at the top of the order.What to expect: At every auction, their talent scouts have a habit of unearthing a gem. Who is next is the question.ALSO READ | With the biggest purse, KKR can land all their targetsRoyal Challengers BengaluruPurse remaining: Rs 16.40 crore. Slots left: 8 (2 overseas)Story continues below this adPlayers retained: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Jitesh Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma, Abhinandan Singh, Jacob Bethell, Nuwan Thushara, Rasikh Dar, Swapnil Singh.What they need: They will definitely enter the auctions to fill the two overseas slot as there are injury concerns around Josh Hazlewood and Liam Livingstone released into the pool, need a overseas all-rounder who can flex muscles in the middle-order. While they have their core intact, it is unlikely they would let these two holes remain open. With a limited purse around, landing one top name shouldn’t be a problem, but if those players remain in KKR and CSK interest, they need to look elsewhere.What to expect: They showed at the last auction that they came in with clear plans. A repeat of it should help them walk away stronger.Rajasthan Royals Purse remaining: Rs 16.05 crore. Slots left: 9 (1 overseas)Players retained: Dhruv Jurel, Jofra Archer, Kwena Maphaka, Lhuan-Dre Pretorius, Nandre Burger, Riyan Parag, Sandeep Sharma, Shimron Hetmyer, Shubham Dubey, Tushar Deshpande, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Donovan Ferreira (traded in from DC), Ravindra Jadeja (traded in from CSK), Sam Curran (traded in from CSK).Story continues below this adWhat they need: Another franchise which strengthened during the trading window with the arrival of Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran and Donovan Ferreira, they already look a strengthened team that has seen Sanju Samson leave. An overseas fast bowler who can be a reliable cover for Jofra Archer is needed, which could be the slot they prefer to fill the most. They will have their eyes on uncapped Indians, in particular a spinner who can partner Jadeja. Have plenty of left-handed batsmen in their mix, may look to address the balanceWhat to expect: Have enough money to fill the slots. Arrival of big names unlikely.Sunrisers HyderabadPurse remaining: Rs 25. 50 crore. Slots left: 10 (2 overseas)Players retained: Abhishek Sharma, Aniket Verma, Brydon Carse, Eshan Malinga, Harsh Dubey, Harshal Patel, Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, Jaydev Unadkat, Kamindu Mendis, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins, R Smaran, Travis Head, Zeeshan Ansari.What they need: They definitely need Indian pacers who will be starters in the XI. For successive seasons, the lack of depth in the spin bowling resources has been a concern, so they could be in the market for an experienced spinner with Ravi Bishnoi being an option. With Mohammed Shami traded to Lucknow, they need an experienced seamer to go with Pat Cummins.Story continues below this adWhat to expect: Don’t be surprised if they spend most of their purse on their bowling resources.
